ABOUT US
We, the Justice Theatre Company, are comprised of a young adult staff of volunteers with a passion for social justice. Founded in 2014, the Justice Theatre Company began with the premise of tackling social injustices like poverty, human trafficking, racism, or genocide by producing a play to be performed in the end of August. Each year, we choose a work written with the intention of exposing social injustice to raise awareness within our community and advocate for the dignity of all. The plays are performed by thespians ages 14-24. Proceeds raised from our performances are donated to an organization that helps to end the chosen injustice.
We are a staff of young adults, believing in the importance of social justice. We are performers, using our talents for a cause bigger than ourselves. We are here to make people uncomfortable with the reality of the world, we are here to inspire the social change that results in social justice. We are here to advocate for the voices that are left unheard, we are advocates, we are dreamers, we are artists. We are the Justice Theatre Company.
We are here to make injustice fiction, will you join us?
